A heavily intoxicated motorist was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs and leaving the scene of a crash after a 12:50 p.m. Monday incident in the 100 block of Powers Street.
Michael T. Jenkins, 37, of 412 N. Madriver St., was arrested after Jayme M. Hefner and Kelly Yule, who run the Designer’s Loft salon, 113 Powers St., saw him strike a fence on the property and drive away. They were able to get his license plate number as he proceeded down the alley without stopping.
Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department tracked the plate and went to Mr. Jenkins’ home where he was found passed out behind the wheel of the van.
His blood alcohol content was measured at 0.185 percent, or more than twice the legal limit.
